Raspbel-art - Raspbel

Unpopular opinion but if you don't enjoy the process you should find a different thing to do.

And I think this is true in general but now I'm talking about it in the context of AI.

If you don't enjoy making art and only care about the end piece and how it'll look and how much traction it"lol get online then making art is not something for you, find something you enjoy from start to finish.

Same goes for writing: if you do not enjoy writing and rewriting and then some more and instead want AI to write for you, being a writer is not something you should pursue.

Sure, not every part of creative process is going to be equally enjoyable but you should get satisfaction from solving the problems along the way and you should get a sense of accomplishment on your way of "making the piece yours" and you should have a sense of ownership once you are done.

None of these things will come from typing in a prompt into chatGPT. And I am sad to see so many people are missing on the opportunity to experience the joy of making something with their own hands and brains.

Hand, anyone?

I want to draw SO BAD, I've started yesterday a very interesting and very challenging bunch of stuff and I'm ~vibrating~ how much my hands are itching to draw right now, but it's working hours and I'm in office. The struggle is real...

observations

Some Spiderman into the Spider Verse, because I practice my markers ✨

It's a little late, Idk why didn't I post them here, but here are my pride boys, Misha and Miles ❤️

And Happy Pride, because it's not a matter of only one month per entire year!!

Young and goofy. Jean and Antoni recently recovered from the wounds they got on a battlefield and already fool around to show that they are fine

So

My art, art of @/hansoeii and many other artists have been stolen by this acc in Tumblr and they put weird links to each post. Please report and block them. I'm not a big artist, I have small accounts and it harms them incredibly

Oh dear people, you can't even imagine how much your comments and cool tags make me happy and gives the inspiration to continue

"Are you done yet?"

Twelve would like to come back to his own adventures, not participate in The Doctor × Posing

since twitter users are migrating here i figured i should make one of these since i was also one of you at one point :)

welcome to tumblr! here's how to do it aka a list of things i wish someone told me when i first joined

we ACTUALLY USE THE BLOCK BUTTON. there's no harm in blocking someone. i know you feel like blocking means the other person "won" or you're conceding or blah blah blah but no. blocking is for your own peace of mind. and you can block for any reason! don't like their vibe? hate the layout? bad opinions on your faves? block and go on with your life

cannot stress this enough. LIKES DON'T DO JACKSHIT HERE. yk the bookmarking feature on twitter? where it lets you save tweets for later? that's what likes are on tumblr. they're a way to save a post. they don't make that post show up on other people's dashboards or anything. reblogging on the other hand? THAT'S what spreads posts. reblogging is like liking AND retweeting at the same time.

2nd 'cannot stress this enough'- if you're on desktop, USE THE SHINIGAMI EYES EXTENSION. it'll help you know which blogs are terfs/radfems so that you can block and avoid them and tell your friends who to block and avoid.

you can never truly delete a post. oh sure you can delete the original. but once someone reblogs it? it's there forever. you can still see all the reblogs that everyone has reblogged of that post. same with editing- if you edit the original, only the original changes. the reblogged version stays the same.

you don't lump words together to hashtag. for example, if i wanna tag something as percy jackson, i don't write "#percyjackson". i write "#percy jackson".

you'll notice that when ppl reblog, they talk a ton in the tags. that's what they're for. if you wanna add something to the post but you don't think it's important enough for the main post section, you add it in the tags.

you know how on twitter you can follow topics. that's what tags are like here. on twitter i would follow the topic "percy jackson" but on tumblr i gotta follow the tag "#percy jackson"

another one i can't stress enough- anons on here are NOTHING like curiouscat or tellonym. they are not there for you to spew hate unabashedly. we don't believe in cowardice here. you got a problem w/ someone? say it on main or keep your mouth shut. anons are for people who are too shy to ask questions with their account visible.

comments (while not as useful as rbs) are still good. comment a ton! it helps you talk to other people and express any opinions

there is no such thing as clout here. the only ppl who have it are neil gaiman, neil cicierega, and those 2015 youtubers (dnp, thomas sanders, tyler oakley, etc). no one can see your follower count but you. anyone you follow could have 50 followers or 50,000 followers and you would never know unless they told you. it honestly doesn't matter.

GIVE YOUR BLOG A HEADER AND PFP. don't just use the one tumblr automatically sets for you. people will think you're a bot and block you instantly because if there's one thing people HATE on this site? it's bots.

same if your blog is empty. post something, rb something, just do SOMETHING otherwise you'll be assumed to be a bot

the "based on your likes" feature is not based on your likes. at all. not in the slightest. so just toggle it off tbh

tumblr is like a massive archive. it is 100% normal to see posts from 2012 or reblogged posts from accounts that have been deactivated to circle around again.

there are so many fuckin porn bots on here. just block them

your likes and follows aren't public unless you toggle that feature on, but people can see when you like and follow them

for extra privacy, you can hide your blog from search results (including external sites like google or yahoo), make it only viewable within the tumblr dashboard, or password protect it (ppl will have to enter a password in order to view it).

turning on submissions basically means that users can submit posts to your blog. you don't have to allow the submission but if you do, it'll have a small heading underneath the text that says "submitted by (insert username here)". you can turn on and off any types of submissions you want to allow or not allow

i'll add some more in rbs bc i hit word limit
